For over 65 years, Almar Building & Remodeling has proudly served families on the South Shore of Massachusetts. we are committed to delivering a positive and trustworthy experience for every homeowner throughout their entire project. So, I want to discuss the importance of combating “buy now” pressures that you may encounter as you begin the process.

We recently encountered a social media post where a homeowner shared their concerns about a high-pressure sales tactic they experienced while seeking window replacement quotes. Unfortunately, these types of practices can leave homeowners feeling rushed and uncertain about their choices.

Making Informed Decisions

At Almar Building & Remodeling, we strongly believe that successful projects hinge on collaborative effort. Therefore, we’re sharing some key tips to guide you in your search for a reputable home improvement contractor:

• Do Your Research: Research potential contractors thoroughly. Look for companies with a strong reputation for quality work, excellent customer service, and fair pricing.

• Beware of High-Pressure Sales Tactics: A reputable contractor will give you the information you need to make an informed decision without feeling pressured. Be wary of companies that use scare tactics or limited-time offers to close a deal.

• Ensure Proper Licensing and Insurance: Verify that the contractor you hire has the necessary licenses and insurance coverage to protect you and your property. In Massachusetts, this includes:

  • Home Improvement Contractor License,

  • General Liability Insurance, 

  • Workers’ Compensation Insurance.

  • If your home was built before 1978, verify that the contractor possesses a lead-safe renovator license to ensure compliance with RRP laws

• Read the Contract Carefully: Before signing any contract, take time to read and understand all terms and conditions.

  • Importantly, Massachusetts law grants you a 3-day right of rescission. This means you have three days to cancel the contract without penalty if you are not satisfied. Companies must provide you with a waiver outlining this right at the time you sign the contract.

• Ask Questions: Ask any questions you have about the contractor’s experience, qualifications, warranty policies, and project timeline. A reputable contractor will gladly address your concerns and provide you with clear and concise information.
